ABSTRACT

The general assembly design is to refine the configuration and layout design and transform the relevant design into the detailed requirements for structural design and spacecraft assembly, integration and test (AIT) implementation, and finally complete the cabin assembly and system-level assembly. In this chapter, the design criteria, design contents and analysis verification methods for the spacecraft configuration, layout and assembly are systematically combed and specifically illustrated. Generally, a large and complex spacecraft is divided into several modules to facilitate the common use of the platform and the parallel development of the spacecraft. The detailed cabling design is carried out at the detailed final-assembly design stage. The detailed design of piping and cable network path is completed at the stage of final-assembly design and must not contradict with the equipment layout. Final assembly component is a special component used on the satellite to meet certain installation and positioning requirements or other requirements of the equipment.
